Nominations for most AAS prizes and awards for 2017 are due in the Secretary's office by 30 June 2016. All of these prizes and awards are now open to self-nominations, thanks to a recent change in the rules.

At its 227th semiannual meeting last week in Kissimmee, Florida, the AAS named the recipients of its 2016 prizes for outstanding achievements in research, instrument development, education, and service.
